Registration and Meeting Policies

Registration Fees

We have extended our Advanced Pricing through Wednesday, January 8, 2014.

Due to last week’s storm here in New England, the Advance Pricing deadline has been extended to January 8th! This is your chance to save before registration prices go up. If you would like to receive your badge via mail you need to register by January 10, 2014.

If you are already registered the mailing of badges/tickets began on December 27, 2013 and will continue through January 13, 2014.
